He seemed shocked at what
all he had been forced to see
in that crazy house
Those greenish yellow
eyes told a thousand words as
he kept staring on

If possible,
we would emerge out of this pandemic by switching it off,
If possible,
we would fume less and smile more as the pandemic taught us that life is short,
Maybe this is just an aberration
for learning to cope with a crisis.

As it rained, delight
turned to despair seeing the
flood and landslide
While he was deft, he
lost control of his car which
ended up crashing

Monday is Red for
the optimism & energy
it brings to the week
Tuesday is Orange
as there isn’t as much vigour
but still some sparks left
Wednesday is all
about Yellow which deals with
happiness & anxiety
November, a month
when people anticipate
upcoming winter
November, a month
when people vouch to raise awareness
about men’s health issues
November, a month
with people on tenterhooks
about more lockdowns
November, a month
when even the aeolist
may not survive the pandemic

Staying happy is a choice to keep
the mind lucid and fresh.
Happiness is that feeling which one gets
seeing loved ones virtually as a rule during the pandemic.
One feels the happiest when its possible
to hug loved ones after months of lockdown.

Sun and the clouds were having a tiff
with the sun trying to win the battle
Clouds weren’t ready to take it lying down
and both decided on a face-off
Eyes jealousy
Grey life
Pale heat
Pellucid quest
Solitudes wish

The white sands were a magnet for tourists,
while activities like paragliding and scuba diving were fun, hardihood was key
They loved lazing on the beach
and getting scuttlebutt from friends,
When they were bored
they acted as if all the information was recondite

A team of two dancers, a team of two friends,
they always hung out together
But punishment was an echo of her feelings,
when her friend’s actions were too much to not bother
Forgiveness meant being cordial and working in tandem
in the interim both of which weren’t acceptable to her,
And so with time, the wedge between them got wider
and wider and finally their relationship was wiped clean

Tranquility is
the new luxury though one
shouldn’t be lonely too
Tranquility is
all I need for keeping my
dignity always
Tranquility is
a choice but one needs to be
chary of strangers
Tranquility is
bliss when one can even hear
the howl of the wind
